The news story says she’s riding on her rim. I don’t think there is even a wheel left!
On the brake drum....and it’s not even turning.
I saw something like that once. There was a guy driving at freeway speed on 3 tires and a rim. He was giving the finger to everyone who looked at him.
I was passed on I40 in Albuquerque by a car with 3 temporary spares.
I was doing ten over on a freeway near Baltimore when I got passed by a guy doing over 80 on a scooter. A scooter!
As he’s blowing by me I began to wonder how hot the 12” tire was. Suddenly chunks of rubber began to hit my windshield. The idiot cut across three lanes and came within 6 inches of becoming a red spot on the freeway from the van on the other side of me.
No idea how he got a scooter up to 80. I was doing over 70.
Is it front wheel drive or rear wheel drive? Seems like it would have to be RWD.
Rollovers seem to be a right of passage in NM. Once saw a guy hit the curb pulling into his driveway and end up on his side.
Temporary spare is the most common tire size in the metro area. I've seen several cars that have had them on for far longer than is recommended.
That’s impressive
Maybe the semi that was pushing him slowed a bit and he popped loose.
Ann Heches’ soulmate. Brandon’s sister.
Probably has mental dimunition. She denied she was in an accident. Low blood sugar? Hysteria? UTI? Schizzy? Escapee from assisted living? Drunk? On psychotropics? Good thing no one got hurt.

I think all Audi SUVs are AWD. But I could be wrong since I would never buy an Audi.
NM reasoning, they’re temporary because they eventually wear out.
Wow, what a story. There’s something REALLY weird here. She was driving with a shredded tire and wheel in the back of the car.
On the brake drum....and it’s not even turning.

Yup. She was skating along on the drake drum. It’s incredible that the drum wasn’t sanded down to a nub by cruising at highway speed.
